Haven't fished for three weeks now but will be searching for Browns and Bows Monday very early morning for a few
hours before work.
That's all for now...
Will report back.
The other morning, I saw what looked exactly like a Great Blue Heron, except it was pure white in colour.
Does anyone know how common that is or if it was infact a different type of bird all together?
Thanks
I found it to be interesting. Must admit to feeling as if we are very 'stupid' overall as a race but seem to view ourselves as the opposite.
No question the major point made in the film,(which is to no longer depend on oil for energy) is a must. Can this be done quickly, I don't think so. Over the next 50 years...I think it can be done.
Have you seen it?
Cottages - Good
Boats - Good
Service - OK
Location - Bad
I stayed there once and the biggest reason I didn't go back is because it's right beside a main road and the cottages don't have their own fire pits. If you want something somewhat more private or remote look elsewhere.
That entire end of the lake is shallow and weedy so small pike are everywhere. Some good spots for largies. Deeper water is a good 20-25 minute boat ride away. WATCH OUT FOR THE ROCKS / SHOALS!!!
One great thing about that section of the lake is that the entire south shore has very few cottages on it.
Overall - 6 out of 10
Went with the Temple Forks 8' 6" 4wt 2pc Rod - Signature Series
Temple Forks Prism 3/4 Reel.
Floating Line
A variety of flies, leaders and tippet.
Will report back when the rivers clear up a bit...
The water is high but I can't resist putting my new set up into use.
Hitting the river to practise casting but the chance of catching a fish is very low.
Here we go...
I don't support what went down today in T.O. at all but I must say that young people do feel helpless against certain issues which does influence radical behavior.
eg: BP Oil Spill (how many days now) and Corporate Takeover.
Yes it's wrong what they did and it will not help solve any problems but they are young, angry & probably not very smart. Regardless, the government also needs to look within to ask why their actions cause these reactions as stupid as they are.
Let me get this right.
We approach the perfect hole as the sun is slowly rising behind the tree line. We both know there's a beautiful brown in there just waiting to be tamed.
Now your going to be content with teaching me how to cast? HAHA!
I may be picking up my set up on Sunday!!!
I tried casting my friends fly rod a few days ago and it does seem a little easier then starting out with a centerpin. Still have trouble with the wallis cast.
A few more days and I should be set up and ready to hit the water!
I take my dog for a walk almost everyday back in the ravine. I know exactly where your talking about.
In the winter they are everywhere! A few months back I saw a group of 9.
I see coyote scat back there all the time but have yet to see or hear one. With the million rabbits, groudhogs and squirrels back there you think you'd see them from time to time.
Less common species I've seen back there are:
Green Heron
Great Horned Owl
Mink
Orioles
As I'm drinking my morning coffee, sitting at my computer before I go to work, I look out the window facing the ravine (Humber) behind my house.
Out of the corner of my eye I see some movement. What do I see...a doe grazing on the hill with her tiny fawn running all around her. Awesome! And this is just 20 minutes from downtown Toronto (HWY 27 / Rexdale).
After 3 years here, that's the first fawn I've seen.
5 months ago my wife Anna and I had our first baby. I'm really looking forward to teaching her about the outdoors and fishing. I know girls generally don't have as much of an interest in angling as boys do.
Which of you moms and dads have daughters that love to fish???
